أَنْتَ مِنِّي مَا بَيْنَ فِكْرٍ وَلَفْظِ

أَنْتَ مِنِّي مَا بَيْنَ فِكْرٍ وَلَفْظِ

فَمَتَى يَشْتَفِي بِقُرْبِكَ لَحْظِي

فَمَتَى يَشْتَفِي بِقُرْبِكَ لَحْظِي

You are as close to me as thought is to word.

You are my thoughts and words

So when will my gaze find relief in your nearness?

When will my eyes delight in your nearness?

غِبْتَ عَنِّي مَدَى ثَلاثٍ فَزَادَتْ

غِبْتَ عَنِّي مَدَى ثَلاثٍ فَزَادَتْ

حَسَرَاتِي وَغَابَ أُنْسِي وَحَظِّي

حَسَرَاتِي وَغَابَ أُنْسِي وَحَظِّي

You were away from me for three nights, and so grew

You've been absent three days, increasing

My sorrows; my solace and good fortune vanished.

My regrets while my joy and luck left.

فَأَجِبْ دَعْوَتِي وَلا تَنْسَ وَعْدَاً

فَأَجِبْ دَعْوَتِي وَلا تَنْسَ وَعْدَاً

لَكَ بِالْوَصْلِ لا يَزالُ بِحِفْظِي

لَكَ بِالْوَصْلِ لا يَزالُ بِحِفْظِي

So answer my call, and do not forget a promise

So answer my call and forget not a promise

Of reunion you made, which I still keep in memory.

Of reunion that stays preserved in my memory.
